The museum preserves a comprehensive collection of exhibits from former times, bearing witness to farming, housekeeping and social conditions in and around Akranes. Among the exhibits on display are boats and ships, as well as a selection of other items connected with seafaring and fishing, such as trawl-wire cutters from the so-called Cod Wars with the British, instruments used by doctors and midwives, old cars and a smithy. The museum also offers information on sports in Iceland, Iceland’s Mineral Kingdom and an exhibition from the National Land Survey of Iceland.
